CAMPUS COMMUNITY CENTERS

Campus Community Centers at UC San Diego build community among our diverse population of students, faculty and staff members. Each provides a forum to increase awareness of social issues, encourage dialogue, build community, improve retention, increase outreach, and foster academic success.

Black Resource Center

UC San Diego’s Black Resource Center promotes scholarship, fosters leadership, and cultivates community for students while centering the Black experience. Not only does the BRC serve undergraduate students, the center is also positioned as a resource for alumni, faculty, staff and the broader Black community.

Cross Cultural Center

The CCC strives to create a welcoming environment for students and staff alike from all different walks of life, identities, cultural backgrounds, and ethnicities. It’s a place where culture comes to life and where diversity is celebrated, which is shared through in their events, collaborations, and space.

UC San Diego’s Intertribal Resource Center provides community, personal, academic, and leadership development for UC San Diego’s native and indigenous populations. Their space promotes overall increased educational accessibility for native students, and a place where they can study, learn, and be in community.

LGBT Resource Center

The LGBTRC is a great space to explore topics about sexuality and gender while meeting others in a friendly environment. It provides a visible presence of community, and is open to everyone, whether you want to learn more or have questions. The LGBTRC hosts a rainbow of programs and services for every letter in the LGBTQ+ acronym. This cozy space can feel like a home that supports an ever-growing family.

Raza Resource Centro

The RRC is an open and inclusive community space which strives to serve students primarily of Latinx and Chicanx descent and origin. The Centro is a lively space where students study, meet, write, get tutoring, and most importantly can lean on each other for support. It is a space where not only Latinx/Chicanx organizations hold meetings and events, but also where cultura, arte, and academics interconnect.

Women's Center

The WC is a space where people can come together and collaborate to support women from all walks of life. The Women’s Center provides education and support regarding gender issues, with the goal of promoting an inclusive and equitable campus community. Additional facilities specific to the center include a shower in the restroom and a private lactation room. Drop in to learn about more resources you can access or for engaging educational programs like the weekly Gender Buffet!

“The Women's Center, and the Cross-Cultural Center (and other Campus Community Centers!) have libraries with a nice book selection, and study space. The Women's Center also has a kitchen, and refrigerator, which are open for hot drink use, and storage of meals!”
